@Gina @RyuKurisu Yes, .docx is not LibreOffice's native format, so compatibility can't be guaranteed. (We can't do anything about that โ€“ it's a pseudo-standard from Microsoft, with many issues, and not recommended for long-term data storage.) When using LibreOffice, it's best to use the software's native Open Document Format โ€“ .odt โ€“ which is a fully open and standardised format.

It's important for any person that claims to represent the people to interact with them directly. I think this is one reason, among many, why Donald Trump has made an interesting decision. For the first time in history, you can tweet at the President, and the President tweets back.

I'm considering making a new campaign promise:

I will be the first President of the United States of America to post on the #Fediverse. I will also ensure that a new grant for innovators in #socialmedia can be established through executive action. With the Freedom Dividend, I hope many open source developers can come out of the woodwork and contribute to #opensource projects like #Mastodon and #Gab 24/7.

@BunnyHearted I don't want to get into a big thing either. You seem like a polite and well intentioned person. I do have to say though that I fundamentally disagree with pretty much everything you said with the exception of time being a finite resource.

@moonman @misslav Why do I feel like the only thing missing in this picture is a keytar with a tux penguin on it?

@wigglytuffitout @brainblasted Being pro hate speech and supporting free speech that includes hate speech are two separate things

Supporting gay rights doesn't make you gay

Supporting racial equality doesn't make you black

Supporting the right for abortion doesn't make you pregnant (or not)

Supporting free speech does mean hate speech, but doesn't mean you agree with hate speech or are hateful, just that we shouldn't censor others like 1400s Catholics.

@paulakreuzer@mastodon.social @greenfediverse @switchingsocial@mastodon.at @brainblasted No instance like that exists because it's a ridiculous standard. I would certainly agree that some of those things would be nice haves but I feel at this point we should just be happy that more people are taking an interest in supporting systems and software that don't exploit them.

@perrine@deadinsi.de Why are we having some hypothetical argument about some metaphorical microphone? Speech is not some finite resource. We can talk about many different things with many different people. Statements like the one you made drive people away from the left in droves.

Straight people? But what if they need to sit down or pick something up from the ground?
